HP Recommended
zbook 15
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Something in HP is not working preventing me from connecting to the enternet.

3 year old Zbook 15.

 

I can be connected wirelessly with a strong connection and the icon in the tray says "No internet access"

 

When i try Network Trouble shooting I get;

"Local area connection" doesn't have a valid IP configuration

 

the error frame says  "HPConnectionManager.exe - Bad Image

"C:\Windows\system32\mswsock.dll is either not designed to run

on Windowsor it contains an error. Try Installing the program

again using original installation media or contact your

system administrator or the software vendor for support."

 

The message stays in front all the time. I've tried both HP disks that came with the computer

and no luck. There was another message about "HP Hotkey something......"

 

I hate computers with no support.
